The 12 emotional stages of the 12 Pubs of Christmas

It’s tough out there.

THE TWELVE PUBS of Christmas can be tough going. It’s emotional.

Here’s what you can expect to… expect.

1. Apathy

Meh. You’re doing a 12 pubs, it’s not the first thing you’d choose to do today but you’ll give it a good go. What could possibly go wrong?

Oh wait, a lot could go wrong. Are you really going to be able for 12 drinks in a row?

3. Excitement

Yeah you are! In fact, you might even have a 13th, a nightcap.

7. Hanger (Hungry Anger)

You’re seven pints and five hours in but haven’t seen a scrap of food. Ease this emotion with a kebab.

11. Exhaustion

Pub 12 comes with a mixture of elation and exhaustion, but we’re just gonna throw it to exhaustion because you know that’s what’s up.

12. Regret

We always say, never have regrets. Except when it’s the morning after the 12 pubs.
